Band CNBLUE (Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk, Lee Jeong-shin) released a new album and is showing all-around activity.
CNBLUE, which made a comeback on Jan. 7 with its third studio album "3LOGY" (Thrillogy), has been appearing on various entertainment shows, radio and news programs, continuing to show noticeable activity.
On KBS2's "The Seasons - 10CM's Ssedam Ssedam," where they appeared with their comeback, they showed a fantastic tikitaka and an explosive-energy live stage that resembled a concert hall. In addition, they displayed solid live skills and candid wit across various content, including YouTube channel 1theK's "Outdoor Recording Room," KOCCA MUSIC's "Jukjae's Car Playlist," and Studio AZED's "Karaoke Live."
CNBLUE also showed off their enduring wit and sense on radio. On Jan. 11, Jung Yong-hwa spoke in depth about the behind-the-scenes of performances and music work on MBC FM4U's "SpoWang Go Young-bae," and on Jan. 14 CNBLUE appeared as a complete group on SBS PowerFM's "Escape at Two Cultwo Show," captivating listeners with exceptional chemistry and lively banter.
In addition to entertainment programs and radio, on Jan. 14 on SBS's "Nightline" they conveyed serious stories about the music, the album and performances. The members said of this album, "We were eager to show our musical capabilities and wanted to introduce the songs we wrote to our fans and the public as soon as possible, so we prepared a full-length album. Because it contains many songs, we were really excited while preparing it, and we are happy that it showed a good response after its release."
CNBLUE demonstrated their unwavering strength by asserting their presence across all areas—albums, digital releases and music videos—immediately after the release of their third studio album "3LOGY." "3LOGY" topped three iTunes charts simultaneously on release—iTunes top albums, pop albums and K-pop albums—in seven regions, and it also ranked No. 1 on the Circle Chart retail album chart. The pre-release single released on New Year's Day, "Still, a Flower," also received focused attention from Forbes in the U.S. and showed strength on Asian music charts.
The title track "Killer Joy" entered No. 13 on Billboard's "LyricFind Global" chart (Jan. 17), and the music video proved CNBLUE's powerful presence by ranking No. 1 for two consecutive days on YouTube Korea's "Daily popular music videos" chart (Jan. 12–13). The digital release is also maintaining a high rank on YouTube Korea's "Daily popular shorts songs."
Continuing their busy schedule from the start of the new year, CNBLUE will hold a solo concert in Seoul on Jan. 17–18, 2026, 2026 CNBLUE LIVE "3LOGY" (2026 CNBLUE Live "Thrillogy"), where they will meet fans.
